Rail Holidays

Our rail journeys offer a unique and intimate way to take you to the heart of a region in opulent style and glamour. 

Rail journeys offer one of the most unique and beguiling ways to discover the world, revelling in the slow meditative nature of the journey and soaking up every wonderful moment. Sit back and relax as you cover epically long distances, the windows of your carriage reveal amazing panoramas and offer remarkable insights into the beauty, culture and character of many different countries. From the exquisite carriages of the world’s most iconic train, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, which takes in an array of wonderful sights including the dreamy canals of Venice, the romantic piazzas of Verona and the lofty peaks of the Alps; to the majestic Indian Pacific that links the iconic city sights of Sydney with the beautiful beaches and rich wildlife of Perth.
